Ooh I have an iPhone.

Plastic Bullet is great fun, if you like messing about with pictures. Akinator is a bit of fun, it's supposed to guess anyone that you're thinking of, and it actually does! I played Oven Break all over christmas, it's addictive. Aaaand at the moment I'm into Fruit Ninja, which is equally hard to put down.

Re: The iPhone/Android/Windows 7 Phone thread

I have an iPhone... so, Angry Birds for sure. Other than that...

Facebook
Blizzard Authenticator (for those of us that play WoW)
Shazam (can tag music... it'll listen for the song that's playing, and then tell you what it is in most cases)
ESPN ScoreCenter
Google Earth
Wikipanion
NetFlix
MyLite
RedLaser (kinda cool, lets you scan barcodes to get prices of the item from different locations)
All Recipes
YellowPages
Google
Handy Level

Then I have a bunch of other apps that wouldn't interest a lot of people.

I have an iPhone and I use an app called billtracker. I just list when bills are due and check them off as I pay them. Plus the app is free unless you want the ad free version.

Also for anyone that lives in CA, I have CHP Traffic app. I think I paid 2 bucks for the app, but well worth it.

Billtracker will surely help me organize better eh?

CHP app- what does it do- give updates on traffic at each freeway even highways maybe too? And does it provide re-routes/detours in case of construction traffic etc?

If that doesn't help I dont know what will lol :jk

The CHP app just list and updates any traffic collision that take place in either interstates or freeways inside CA. It also will show any traffic collison that falls within the CHP jurisdiction ( or I should say any area that CHP covers) Technically speaking CHP has jurisdiction anywhere within CA.

It doesn't list any alt routes though. The app is pretty handy though. I use it to see how my drive is going to be. Also there have been cases that Im stuck in traffic or see an accident and want to know what is going on.

Another reason I like it is because I have a couple family members that are CHP officers so I like to see what is going on in their respective area.

Re: The iPhone/Android/Windows 7 Phone thread

This is an unusual tip I did. I am not used to touch screen phones because of my big fingers (not fat)

Because of this, I used Notes app on the iPhone to type out the alphabet, both uppercase and lowercase to get used to touch screen, now I can type faster

And this App you can also use for like posting at Otz or messaging/ posting on FB and emails?

Just for writing notes, though you can send it off to an email

FB has its own app

CHP App is just like tuning in to the CHP radio station then eh? Just that it's handy info as to info you mentioned. That will still help. Given that even with Fastrack on 91- when there's an accident- i still get caught in traffic and it's a waste paying the toll. Thanks

Ok, I get it :nod: I thought it was like those text designs etc ( iSocialize App) where it connects to emails and FB etc so u can use them too with those certain Apps and it's cool. Thanks

I use the FB App too

Re: The iPhone/Android/Windows 7 Phone thread

I have an Android phone. My favorite apps are:

Barcode Scanner (Same as RedLaser, but not as detailed as RedLaser is...if I remember correctly, RedLaser actually does comparison shopping for you, too.)
Cardio Trainer (Track your workouts, calculates calories burned, even sends you reminders for workouts)
CardStar (You can scan the barcodes or enter the member numbers for all those little discount cards you have...then the stores can just scan your phone. No more carrying around all those damn keychain cards!!!)
Facebook (Of course)
Flightview (Check status of any flight. It sends you notifications when flights have departed, landed, etc)
Foursquare (It's like the Facebook Check-ins but you earn badges and shit.)
Georgia Bulldogs Fans (Schedules, statistics, photos, news, etc)
VCast Song ID (Same as the Shazamm thing Retro listed)

That's all I can think of right now. I'm new to the whole smartphone thing, so I'm still figuring out what apps I want. I played Angry Birds and didn't think it was all that great. *shrugs*

Re: The iPhone/Android/Windows 7 Phone thread

I like Multi Phone Apps..

Here are a few of my Favs.. These are all Free..

TripIt ( Trip Planner )
WeatherEye ( Weather )
ScanLife ( BarCode Reader )

Of course I have the Facebook, Twitter with all the Messengers and stuff.. Those are now defaults with many new phones but I try not to use them to much as battery life is precious and I need to go maximum on mine all the time..

You just reminded me of what I forgot to include...Advanced Task Killer. DUH!!! I use that all the time...kills all those apps that like to run all the time for no reason, LOL
